Low-calorie ice cream brand Halo Top has reformulated the recipe of its vegan range
The company, which has seven dairy-free flavors*, has replaced brown rice protein with fava bean protein – which it says provides a ‘creamier texture that’s packed with flavor’.
‘Quality products’
In an online statement, Senior Brand Manager at Halo Top Shilpa Gadhok said: “As a leader in the better-for-you category, Halo Top is always looking for new ways to innovate and bring forward quality products our consumers will love.
“Plant-based demand is higher than ever, and we want to provide our fans with an offering they feel great about eating — so they don’t have to choose between pursuing a plant-based lifestyle and enjoying dessert.”
The new vegan ice-creams, which contain 280-360 calories per pint, will start rolling out next month and will be available on supermarket shelves in October.

According to online retailer Ocado, U.K searches for vegan ice-cream for skyrocketed by 181 percent over the last three years.
The supermarket says the numbers prove its customers are ‘actively interested in discovering plant-based alternatives’.
*Halo Top’s dairy-free flavors are Birthday Cake, Candy Bar, Chocolate, Chocolate Almond Crunch, Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough, Peanut Butter Cup, and Sea Salt Caramel.
